Well...many people just think that the E39 is more graceful looking than the E60 and are entitled to their own opinion. Even when I look at my friends' E39M5 and my own car, I still like the styling of the E39 better. My guess is the radical styling puts some hardcore E39 fans away....btu seriously, the E60 is a much better car than the E39....and I still like the aggressive look, even though it has lost some of its grace...

I just read the link provided by JayEll. I noticed how the e39 owners referred to the e60's as "pigs." My girlfriend when she first saw pictures of my car called it a pig. She now likes to call my car "Piggy."
Does the first impression of the e60 resemble a pig? I find it odd that the pig is the animal that most people say it resembles. I, myself, think it has the looks and lines of a shark especially the front side view. Am I the only one who sees this?

My Ride: E60 "Stripper"
Now C6 "Stripper"
Hey man you could be walking down the street with "Shania Twain" and some people will say she's ugly. 
So the haters say the E60 is ugly what are they driving?
The E39 is still a sweet looking ride, the E60 is just sweeter.

My Ride: E60
I totally agree about the Twain comment....
It's called jealousy. I hate it when the car I'm driving changes body styles and mine is suddenly dated looking. The people that really hate the E60 are people that bought 2003 E39. Ouch.

"That being said as soon as they drop the AS from the sport package I will be all over the e60. "
1st of all i adore the e60 it's much more agressive then the e39
2nd
hey hey hey...i didn't know that if u get the sport package (that the m packege right) u get active steering. IS THIS TRUE?!?!? pls pls reply to my question!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What other option does the sport packege include except exterior upgrade, interior, and sport supension...i thought it's only thos things.
PS: i ask u because my car is on it's way and i orderd with m package but didn't want the AS because i like normal uncomputerized and simple steering.
